Saud bin Nasir Al-Sabah

Shaikh Saud bin Nasir Al-Sabah is a member of the Kuwait House of Al-Sabah ruling family and the former Kuwaiti ambassador to U.S.

His daughter Nayirah (Nijirah al-Sabah) and himself were reportedly involved in Citizens for a Free Kuwait which was a front group established by the Kuwaiti government to promote the 1991 U.S. war in the Persian Gulf (Gulf War/Operation Desert Storm). This involvement has been covered in the documentary film "To Sell a War".
